Utah senior care research
Utah licensed health care facilities
Utah DHHS licenses health care facilities. Its statewide GIS layer has 891 location records across many health care classes. The table below shows only senior-relevant classes, separately. These are observations from a historical layer, not a live count of currently valid licenses or a quality rating.
Source-defined facility classes
Each row has a distinct source ID_NUMBER within its class. Type I and Type II assisted living are different licenses. Home health, hospice, and personal care agencies are service providers, not residential beds. Do not add these columns into a senior facility total.
| License type | GIS rows | Distinct source IDs |
|---|---|---|
| Assisted Living Facility - Type I | 48 | 48 |
| Assisted Living Facility - Type II | 176 | 176 |
| Nursing Care Facility | 100 | 100 |
| Home Health Agency | 111 | 111 |
| Hospice | 85 | 85 |
| Personal Care Agency | 124 | 124 |
The same layer also has 5 small health care facilities. Their type alone does not establish senior care, so they are excluded from the table. Hospitals, mammography sites, dialysis, surgery, birthing centers, and abortion clinics are also excluded.
Verify before choosing care
View the Utah Geospatial Resource Center dataset and the DHHS health facility information. The GIS fields include ID_NUMBER, license type, capacity, license expiration, and sometimes a CMS certificate number. An expiration date in a March 2026 snapshot cannot establish October 2026 status. Capacity is a source field, not a live opening count. A CMS number is federal certification context, not a Utah license.
Provider-level inspection findings, complaints, sanctions, and current license-status changes were NOT_ACQUIRED. A complaint is not a finding. No adverse record was joined by name. For a particular facility, confirm its current license and any public reports directly with DHHS.
Source clocks and reconciliation
The ArcGIS feature service returned 891 rows when retrieved 2026-10-06T13:22:52.592941+00:00. Its data-last-edit metadata is 7 March 2026, while the UGRC landing page labels the dataset February 2026. The immutable response SHA-256 is ae5d3810ba79d60105e7e2a30d5bedad08099d015e69415b381e78a63566704f. These are source and retrieval clocks, not facility license effective dates.
Existing canonical matches: NOT_ACQUIRED. Net-new canonical entities: 0. Evidence attachments and graph writes: 0. The source rows are published as research observations without creating new facility profiles. Search results must not imply a current license from this snapshot alone.
